It is engine related, but it isn't a technical question, so I present it to you here, for whatever it's worth... The "ported" (emphasis " ") heads that came on my car VS. The "cleaned up a little" heads that came on another 109 I bought recently. Just goes to show you, life is all about...

56/56 turbo, turbonetics .63 turbine housing, Garrett compressor housing. Bought it last year from a board member new and ran it about 500 miles just on 93. Worked well, spooled very easily, just had some compressor surge with my big front mount. Moving back to a bigger one now. $600 obo with...

In my research I've found a lot about the 6.1 chip, but not this one little detail. Does the chip need to see an actual MAP reading via powerlogger to make the mid-boost fuel corrections, or is it just a calculation based off of rpm, tps voltage, wideband, etc? I already have PL, and I already...

looking for a poly passenger side mount, already have a good hr driver side. Also looking for either valve cover spacers for stock covers, or a set of taller valve covers, depending on price.

I've read that the 14 bolt hot air blocks had a taller deck height than a 109, is the same true for the 140? Are hot air pistons identical to ic? I ask this, because upon teardown of my 140 equipped hodgepodge of an 87, I've found the pistons sitting ~.085 down in the hole. They're factory...

Looking for a good short block before I dive into this one instead. Don't need anything crazy, stock one would be fine.

Dialing things in after getting the car back together, and I'm having a loss of power/breaking up right at 5,000 rpm. It SEEMS to be that the lower the boost, the less aggressive the issue. Today, with 5 more psi, it actually missed like it was hitting the rev limiter, vs just laying over...

Looking for a good used te44, 5858, or similar turbo. Need 3 bolt, 3" inlet and .63 ar housing preferred, but .82 wouldn't be make or break. Just looking for something in decent shape to get back on the road for now. Located in SW Indiana, willing to pay for shipping. Thanks

Not an ad, so I didn't know if for sale was the right section. What's this steaming pile worth these days? It embodies the 1-2 punch of devaluation; extensive modifications, and less than spectacular condition. I assume very little for this reason. What's bad: Rust- got some. Door bottom...

Car is finally back on the road after some time (life happens) and preliminarily I'm really pleased with the 4l80 swap. I'm running it with one of the cheap manual control boxes available online for now, as a stopgap until I figure out what ultimately I'm doing with management on the car. It's...

Filled out a contact form with PTC, but figure it's worth an ask nonetheless, in case it takes them a while to get back, or they don't have the information. I've had a turbo 400 with a rmvb and a trans brake for some time now. Longer than I've owned my TR for. One of those buys I couldn't pass...

I grabbed this 200 for not a whole lot, claims of being "rebuilt", and good for "650 hp". Having a non-200 specific, general rebuilder shop tag on it, I have/had low expectations, and flat do not buy a 650 hp claim...maybe with 400 lb ft. Popped the pan this morning, and it does appear to still...

The presumably stock brf in my T has succumbed to the abuse. Anybody dragging a good one down there this week? Wouldn't mind having the car on the road again this spring before I have the free $4,000 to spend on what I ultimately want for it, and wouldn't mind having this one to send as a core...

I have a pile of random, unassorted turbo buick parts that came by the truckload with my car. I am not out to make a fortune, this stuff is dirty dirty, it's been sitting in a barn for God knows how long. I just don't have the use or the space for any of it, and it needs to go. Better if...

I've been searching for some thoughts on this and not much is coming up. I have a cpt61bb (turbonetics tag on compressor housing says 11356-bb), and overall I'm happy with it. Only thing is there is a small amount of play in the shaft, and I am getting some oil into the exhaust side. It's...

Got to the track today. Glad to have resolved several issues with this car since I bought it. Strictly pump gas, 80s and humid, so 16 psi is about it. I added a degree of low gear timing, but I got 0.5* KR off the line and it didn't gain anything, so I put it back. Best yet of 7.848 at 88 mph...
